A highly inaccurate view as well of US immigration over the past 100 years. Getting back to the text of the article what each of these charts demonstrates are the arguments that Harry Dent has so well articulated about the aging of industrial societies and the impact on global demand. Parsing the charts by Male and Female, as done above, creates the visual impact of roughly halving the impact of the demographic curve. The charts are troubling and look worse, by the way in Europe.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53b2c67decad04b57c48e9ecJohnDoughTue, 01 Jul 2014 10:32:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53b2c67decad04b57c48e9ec
A highly naive view, which ignores 30 years of current USA history. Go check out what urban gangs look like and who's in prison. Our best days are behind us I hate to say. The bar for US excellence keeps drooping lower and lower.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53b2be80ecad04d55e48e9ebkrypticTue, 01 Jul 2014 09:58:24 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53b2be80ecad04d55e48e9eb
A highly racist view, which ignores 250 years of USA history.
People who make the trip to the USA are a selected sub-section of their home society, and usually the prefered sub-section. They are the ones who work harder and want their children to have better lives than they had. They may not be the best educated, but may be the more intelligent and certainly the more resourceful sub-section.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53b2a2c56bb3f7040f603d78jamesxxxxxxxTue, 01 Jul 2014 08:00:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53b2a2c56bb3f7040f603d78
When the kids are Central South Americans, snuck across the border, or otherwise not integrated into society nearly as well as their older peers, the 'children' issue quickly becomes a burden, and not an advantage.
It's an utter myth that you can take large cohorts of people flooding in from the 3rd world, slap them into Engineering and have them defeating China in software.
Yes - many of the kids will. Great. But mostly, they won't.
America will soon be taking care of it's elderly, and trying to keep the chaos in the school system under control, wondering what millions of little kids who can barely speak English will do.
Brazil has a lot of young people as well - how's that working out for them?
